A friend of mine was able to triangulate cell information in real time and draw maps with dots representing people on them. I believe that the location points were taken care of via the mapping service and then streamed to the Flex application. Try to look into the actual mapping programs to see how they work and go from there.

I wanted to have a list of events with the event details on the left hand side and then the map in the middle. Then each event would have a marker on the google map that you could click on for details. Well after about three days worth of work I finally got the google map to show up in Flex. I was still not able to put the markers on the screen or control what part of the map that google displayed. Also I ran into another problem. If I viewed the application on my PC then I could see the maps but if I viewed it on any other PC that was trying to access the webserver on my PC it would not load the maps part of the application. I would be more than happy to share what I have with you and also there is a link that you will probably find helpful. Go to this website and click on the advanced tab and you will find an example of google maps. http://www.flexauthority.com/samplesIndex.cfm Corey --- In [email protected], Rich Tretola <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Has anyone done any mapping within flex similar to a google maps type > application ? > > Rich Yahoo!
